Issue 6
Blue Grotto, page 68.
Diagram 12 is incorrect. For correct placement of the cream/blue square and the cream/black square, align A to W, B to Y, D to Z and C to X.
Baskets-a-plenty, page 37.
The 1in strips for Border 2 and those used in Section 2 and 3, should be cut 11/2in with a finished size 1in

Issue 7
Baby Elephant Walk, page 94.
The squares for the Nine-patch blocks should be cut 21/2in, not 31/2in as published. The squares for the Tile block should be 21/2in, not 31/2in, and the squares for the Tile blocks to make triangle-squares should be 27/8in not 3 7/8in.

Issue 10
Hexagon Nine-patch, page 60.
The diagram and instructions do not match. Instead of sewing the strips to make the block in three vertical columns as instructed (eg. strip set 2A to the LEFT of Strip Set 1 and strip set 2B to the RIGHT of Strip Set 1), readers should sew the block in rows. Put the piece cut from Strip Set 1 so that it runs HORIZONTALLY. Sew the strip cut from strip set 2A to the BOTTOM of it, and the strip cut from Strip Set 2B to the TOP of it. In this manner, the block will match the diagram.

Issue 12
Rambling Rose, page 89.
From the green rose print fabric, cut:
8 strips, 3 1/4in x width of fabric. Cross cut to yield 40 rectangles, 3 1/4in x 9in for the sashing.

Quilts for Kids #1
Touchy Quilt.
The green strips should be cut 141/2in (35.5cm), not 14in, and the orange strips should be cut 281/2in (69.5cm), not 28in.

Issue 13
The quilt layout diagram for 'Oh Starry Night' by Rachel Ottley on page 59 is in error. Please refer to the quilt photograph on page 56 to layout the rows correctly when assembling the quilt.

Issue 16
A quilt was pictured in  News Patch and attributed to Patty Harants. The quilt is actually a miniature replica of the Rebecca Kohler quilt and was made by Judy Day. The confusion came from the fact that both Judy’s and Patty’s quilts were displayed at the same exhibition. Our apologies Judy.

Issue 18

Issue 8.3
Unfortunately, sometimes an error can slip through and, alas, we missed printing the templates required for the Pomegranate Panache quilt created by Michelle Marvig in Homespun Vol 8 No 3. Although readers can still create the quilt by purchasing the specialty rulers from Michelle, readers were given the option of making their own templates in our instructions. We apologise that the templates were missed when checking our pattern sheets. The templates can be found here. Alternatively, telephone Sarah Tonkin on (02) 9887 0364 or email your postal details to stonkin@universalmagazines.com.au and she will mail you a hard copy.

Issue 8.8
The Silly Season Begins Part Two
To all of you who are looking for the two small templates from Block 2 of The Silly Season Begins - Part Two, yes, they were accidentally left off the pattern sheet so please accept our apologies! These were the star in the righthand corner and the bird shape atop the tree. Please print them out (making sure your printer setting is set to "no scaling" or the equivalent) here and here. Also in the instructions for Part Two of The Silly Season Begins quilt, step 16 says to cut the chook strip in four rectangles each 6in long. This should actually be 6 1/2 in long.

Issue 8.9

Wisteria Girls
Apologies to those of you who created the Wisteria Girls quilt from Homespun Vol 8 No 9. Please note that the last sentence in step 27 should read "Repeat with a total of five of the dark green squares", not all of the remaining dark green squares.

Issue 8.11
A Woman's Glam Bag
A technical hiccup has meant that the stitchery and appliqué designs for A Woman's Glam Bag published in Homespun Vol 8 No 11 were printed on the pattern sheet larger than they should have been (including the appliquéd heart). To overcome this error, copy the designs on a photocopier set at 85%. Alternatively, telephone Editor Bianca Tzatzagos on (02) 9887 0332 or email your postal details to btzatzagos@universalmagazines.com.au and she will mail you a copy of the designs at the correct size. For those of you who have completed your stitchery and/or appliqué at the larger size, we have created an alternate set of instructions here so that you are still able to make the bag.
